Presley may be under a year old, but he’s already working hard to earn his title as a Very Good Boy.

Speaking of personality… this little pitty is living up to his namesake. Presley has a whole lot of charisma, loves meeting new people, and knows how to steal the spotlight with his charm. He’s looking for a family excited to guide a smart, enthusiastic puppy as he grows into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

After successful surgery and recovery time in foster, she’s finally healthy and soooo ready to make up for lost time! Peaches is an energetic, affectionate pup who loves hard, plays hard, and brings sunshine wherever she goes. She’s been through a lot, but her spirit never dimmed — and now she’s ready to start the happy life every dog deserves.

Warren

Warren was found as a stray in a forest preserve and his soulful eyes and skinny body just broke our hearts. He sauntered into the shelter not quite sure if he should trust us but just a few meals later, he decided not only that he trusted us but he also loved us! Warren is stoic, beautiful, and a survivor, but he also turns into the sweetest puppy when he’s warmed up. This handsome fella would love to experience the best life has to offer with you!

Max

Max is a heart-breaker! He was found in a forest preserve, left to fend for himself, and now knowing him, we just know this sweet guy must have been terrified. Max has a heart of gold, just aims to please, and would love a family to have fun with. He’s a quick learner, will do anything for a treat, and enjoys nothing more than taking a support stuffie on his walks with him. He loves giving kisses and bonding with people, it’s adorable to watch. He’s a good boy with a good heart and he’s ready to share his love with someone!

Ellis

This little guy was found abandoned in a tennis court next to our shelter. He was confused and understandably upset. It took all of a day before this cuddle bug was in our laps craving love and attention! He continues to have the sweetest personality and he’s so darn fun! He’s never had an accident in his kennel and he’s been wonderful with us. There is nothing Ellis loves more than a warm blanket and spending time playing or snuggling up for face massages!

Pippa

Pippa was found running around E-Town, full of spirit and spunk! She’s fun and a little edgy. If she could, she’d totally rock a leather jacket and boots! But underneath that cool-girl vibe, she’s incredibly affectionate and loves her people. Her favorite pastime? Chasing the giant yoga ball in the front run – she could go all night if we’d let her! Whether she’s the next urban herding champ or your everyday adventure buddy, Pippa’s ready to roll. Bring her home and add some fun to your life!

Diesel

Have you seen a more handsome dude?! Diesel was surrendered to us and as soon as this hunk jumped out of the car, it was game over for us. Since being with us, all of our volunteers say what a great walker he is and argue over who gets to walk him! Diesel is a people-lover through and through. He thrives on human affection, enjoys a good belly rub, and is always down for a walk or a snuggle session.

Raylan

This tall, handsome, peculiar dude came to us in January and has had our hearts since! Raylan is a stoic fella who doesn’t always wear his heart on his sleeve, but we can’t really blame him considering he’s looking for a family of his own. He might make you pay for his love in treats, but the return on investment is one of the best around! Ray may look like a big tough guy, but he’ll hop around like a little bunny once he knows you’re his person! He’d be perfect if you’re looking for a partner-in-crime or a partner-in-life, whichever you prefer! See him in action.

Orville

This handsome cuddle bug is the definition of a people lover. He thinks every human he meets is his brand new best friend and his favorite place in the world is right by your side. He’s a gentle shadow who follows you from room to room, an all star snuggler, and a smart boy who enjoys walks, puzzles, and sticking to his very responsible bedtime. He’s also a perfect gentleman in the home. You can leave your food at nose level and with one “leave it,” he won’t even look at it. He’d love to be your one and only pet and he’s been an absolute dream when left alone. No crate needed, no accidents, no destruction. He’s making great progress on leash manners and learning that his own meals are always safe. He has so much love to give and is ready to be the best part of your day!

Size: 70 lb.

Dave

In foster

Dave was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with wounds all over his body. He’s understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but is so easily won over with a single treat and a nice little head scratch. If you want a dog who’s going to get stopped on every walk to be told how handsome he is, he’s your dude! A place to snuggle up is all he’s looking for – he’s an easy-to-please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a family of his own!

Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires him out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: No thanks!

Woody

In foster

Howdy partner! Just like in the Disney movie, this boy will be your best friend in the whole world! Woody found his way to the shelter, a shell of himself along with his littermate, Buzz. What we’ve learned about Woody is that he’s loyal, smart, and cute as heck—much like his namesake! Woody would be so happy to go on adventures with you and create a bond so strong that nothing can break it.

Size: 50 lb. but slightly underweight

Ralphie

In foster

I may look like a big tough guy, but I’m soft as mush for the people I love! I’ve had a rough past including being on the run in the bitter cold winter last year but the team here is doing their best to find my perfect home. I’m a bit of a shy dude at first and it might take a visit or two to warm up to new people, but I’m trying really hard to be the best me I can be. Someone who has patience to help me learn is a must and in return you’ll get endless cuddles and zoomies that’ll make your day! I know I can make someone happy and I’m hoping it’s you!

Size: 55 lb. but a little chonky right now
Energy level: Medium
